• Beauty makes idiots sad and wise men merry.
• Love demands infinitely less than friendship.
• Bad officials are the ones elected by good citizens who do not vote.
• Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness.
• Women, as they grow older, rely more and more on cosmetics. Men, as they grow older, rely more and more on a sense of humor.
